Waterloo Unlimited: High School Enrichment Program

Rather than focusing on enrichment in a particular subject, each Waterloo Unlimited program revolves around a different transdisciplinary theme. These themes draw on all Faculties from across the University of Waterloo for a grand exploration of commonalities and differences leading to the integration of knowledge.
